Description

DESCRIPTION

TITLE OF THE INVENTION: DIFFUSER BASKET TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLUNGER MIXER OF A FOOD PROCESSOR.

The present invention relates to an accessory to be associated with the immersion blender of an electric appliance or food processor, to allow during the operation of mixing solid and / or liquid and / or pasty ingredients, to diffuse and integrate flavorings into said mixture. complementary released by other ingredients not included in the mixture.

We know that in terms of kitchen equipment, a large number of electric kitchen appliances have been created and offered commercially to provide the operator with assistance that has become almost indispensable today.

Among these pieces of equipment, the food processor is the one that is most appreciated and which equips most households, whether in France or in many developed countries of the world.

A food processor, food processor or food processor is an electrical device used to facilitate various repetitive tasks in the food preparation process.

The food processor generally has a container intended to receive the food to be worked wider and lower than that of the "mixer", to more easily process solid or semi-solid food. The “mixer” is an electrical device intended more for processing liquid food. The so-called multifunction robot allows for example to knead, beat the egg whites, grate, mince, chop, emulsify etc. by simply changing the accessories.

The first food processor for professionals was a bowl fitted with rotating blades at its base, launched by Pierre Verdun in 1963, which upgraded its device and created the first company to produce the first commercial food processor.

The first household food processor, was launched in 1971, it was the consumer version of Pierre Verdun's first food processor to which a powerful asynchronous motor was added in the late 1960s.

The “mixer” is a device also called “mixer” or “blender”, intended to mix several ingredients. It consists of a motor installed in a fixed base surmounted by a vertical container which receives the ingredients. The motor drives a blade which rotates at high speed at the bottom of the container. This rapid rotation allows air to be incorporated into the preparations, while making them more liquid.

The electric whisk, often referred to as a beater, is a manual electric kitchen appliance that is used to beat or mix food in any container.

Advantageously, a certain number of these electrical appliances intended for the kitchen can receive add-on and interchangeable utensils known as “whips”, “beaters” or “agitators” for making liquid preparations or thicker preparations.

The present invention relates mainly to equipment intended for processing solid, liquid or pasty food ingredients, by mixing them alone or with one another by means of a vertical rotary axis driven by an electric motor most often placed in the upper part. or the lower part of the device. Said rotary axis more commonly called “whisk”, “beater” or “agitator” and hereinafter referred to as “axial mixer”, penetrates inside the food to be mixed and has at least one radial plane for operating the mixing by rotation and / or at least one bottom plane to scrape the bottom of the container receiving said mixture, raise the ingredients and homogenize the mixture.

Although usable on any type of culinary appliance using an "axial mixer", the diffuser basket of the invention was imagined by the author of this patent, to adapt to the "axial mixer" of a jug with removable internal tank for the preparation of drinks from liquid, solid or pasty ingredients, subject of an earlier patent of the same author published on 23/03/2018 under the number FR 3056090.

To understand the interest of the product of this patent, it is therefore necessary to remember that the previous patent FR 3056090 relates to an electrical appliance called household appliances, intended for current family use and / or professional use, for the simple and rapid preparation of hot, cold or room temperature, milky (controlled temperature), chocolate or flavored drinks made from a mixture of liquid and / or solid and / or pasty ingredients. The preparation is carried out entirely inside the internal tank of the device and poured directly from the device to the consumer containers without multiple manipulations, complicated or insecure.

Advantageously, said device uses a removable internal tank and "axial mixer" facilitating cleaning between two uses.

The “axial mixer” of the jug with removable internal tank, which is the subject of the prior patent designated “mixer axis” in the text of the said patent, is introduced and fixed by simple snap-fitting (quarter turn) into a preferably central receptacle of the jug lid directly linked or indirectly to a "mixer motor" preferably placed in said cover of the jug. It consists of a rigid and rectilinear vertical axis called "main axis" carrying on the one hand secured to a precise place of its height, a radial plane called "mixer plane" of shape and dimensions particularly studied and adapted to mix alone or between them and with maximum efficiency, ingredients, solid (for example chocolate pieces), liquids (for example wine, milk or cream) or pasty (for example crème fraîche, ice cream) and on the other hand joined to its lower end, a tool called "scraper plane" capable of scraping the bottom of the mixture and raising it to guarantee better efficiency and better homogeneity with said mixture.

Anxious to bring to the mixtures made in the "internal tank" of the jug, one or more complementary flavors without however including in said mixture the ingredients producing such flavors, the author of the present invention has imagined associating with " mixer axis "of the jug, a diffuser basket driven in rotation by the" radial plane "of one" mixer axis "and designed to let diffuse towards the mixture and through a plurality of peripheral orifices, the flavored effluents from liquid, solid or pasty ingredients previously arranged inside the "diffuser basket" of the invention.

Thus and according to a preferred manufacturing method of the present invention, the diffuser basket is designed so as to be adapted and associated with any “mixer axis” consisting of a vertical axis driven in rotation from the top or from the bottom. of a culinary electric appliance called "main axis" preferably manufactured in one or more pieces and in a rigid and solid material such as for example metal or compatible plastic, carrying at least one radial plane called "mixing plane". Preferably cylindrical, the "main axis" has, at a place of its height, a radial plane called the "mixer plane" to rotate said "diffuser basket" during the mixing operation inside a container. hereinafter referred to as "mixing tank".

According to a different manufacturing method of the present invention, 1 "main axis" of 1 "mixer axis" for example carries a stopper preferably placed in the upper part consisting of a reduction in diameter over a determined height to create between
